Three Attention Studies

About This Movie

So, 'Three Attention Studies' is this intriguing exploration of perception and focus, you know? The first part, 'Looking Around Piece', really draws you in with its minimalism. Just a performer and a fixed camera—watching him track this unseen object creates this palpable tension. Then there's 'Starting Piece', where it’s all about the slow build-up as the performer walks towards the camera. There's something almost meditative about it, almost like a performance art piece but with a cinematic twist. It's raw and stripped down, which kinda makes you question your own attention. The whole vibe feels very experimental, capturing the essence of the late '60s art scene, but also it has that distinct lack of a conventional narrative that some collectors appreciate a lot.

This film is a fascinating piece for collectors, though it’s not the easiest to find. Originally released in limited formats, its scarcity has led to a discerning collector interest, especially among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema. Over the years, various iterations have surfaced, but true completists often seek out the earliest versions for their originality and connection to the era's experimental film movement.
